"An economical, high performance, reliable, and energy efficient server"
 

The Power 750 Express is a one- to four-socket server that supports up to 32 cores with outstanding energy efficiency and diagnostic features in a 4U (EIA Units) package. The Power 750 is an ENERGY STAR-qualified server designed with features to help clients become more energy efficient. EnergyScale technology enabling Intelligent Energy management features to dramatically and dynamically conserve power. These Intelligent Energy features enable the POWER7 processor to operate at a higher frequency if environmental conditions permit, for increased performance and performance per watt; or alternatively operate at a reduced frequency if user settings permit, for significant energy savings. The Power 750 Express offers outstanding performance, industrial-strength PowerVM virtualization and a choice of AIX, IBM i or Linux operating systems.


HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The performance, capacity, energy efficiency and virtualization capabilities of the Power 750
  • Express make it an ideal consolidation, database or multi application server.
  • For consolidation of UNIX®, IBM i and x86 Linux® workloads and virtualized application servers.
  • Applications to run faster with fewer processors, resulting in lower per core software licensing costs.
  • For medium-to-large database servers Implements Light Path diagnostics, which provide an obvious and intuitive means to positively identify failing components
